Orthotics

If you are experiencing foot, shin, knee, hip, or low back discomfort that does not resolve, the origins may be bio-mechanical in nature, in which case Custom Foot Orthotic Devices (orthoses) may be helpful. Since orthotic devices can work in a preventative fashion. They may be appropriate in some cases where future problems may be considered likely.

Corrective foot orthoses are made from a traditional three-dimensional cast molding or a state-of-the-art Laser Scanner (C.A.D. System) of one’s feet. These techniques have proven to be the most “medically accepted” and biomechanically accurate methods in producing custom orthotic devices. From a positive plaster/composite mold, orthotic devices are fabricated using vacuum forming methods. Based on the individual’s body weight, foot type, footwear and activities, the latest materials are selected for the thermal molding process. The finished product is ultimately individualized by material design and customization. The orthotics are accompanied with a full laboratory warranty against breakage and comfort. Orthotics can be designed for all types of sports shoes, dress shoes, skates and ski boots. The types and styles of ones shoes are also a critical part of the overall treatment plan.
